7 years 1 month ago
In "Spider-Man: Far From Home," when Peter Parker (Tom Holland) wasn't breaking away to avert catastrophes as his web-spinning alter ego, he and his schoolmates traveled through Europe in various planes, trains and automobiles in the company of teacher-chaperones Mr. Dell and Mr. Harrington, played by actors JB Smoove and Martin Starr.

There are virtually no surprises in this dutiful biography, which could easily be a sort of gender-switch "A Star is Born," only with Garland portraying the aging superstar.
